"Translucent ruby red appearance with aromas of raspberry and dark red cherry, violets and rose. Juicy, fresh and very fruity with flavours of raspberry and cherry, plenty of red apple, flowers and fine fruit tannins. A lovely standalone drink with plenty of food pairing opportunities. Lovely balance and finish, drink now and through 2021" Cameron Douglas, Master Sommelier
"Every year, the complexity in our Rua Pinot Rosé comes from diverse vineyard selection across two sub regions - Bannockburn and Pisa. This season, our Pisa vineyards contributed most of the fruit, bringing energy and tension to the acid structure; and Bannockburn brings the spice!" Winemaker
Exotic floral bouquet of lily and rose, together with an herbaceous note of wild thyme. Juicy fruit characters on the palate of ripe strawberries, watermelon, cardamom and Turkish delight. Creamy and concentrated with fine skin tannins and bright, lively acidity.
Fruit was grown 4% in Bannockburn (Cairnmuri Rd and Felton Rd Vineyards) and 96% in Pisa (25 Steps and de Bettencor Vineyards).
Following a winter with low rainfall, it was a dry start to the season. Heavy rains on January first (100ml) were a great relief and boosted fruit set and berry weight. Warm settled weather through late Feb and early March continued through harvest, and with little threat from frosts or stoppages from rain, ensured the fruit arrived evenly at the winery in excellent condition.
